I'm 24 but I am still living at home

Bad analogy. It's been 135 years since we lived at our parent's house...

At least have the Maggie-goat on there. Something to get me going...

If you wait a few more years we'll have Charles there instead...

Looked at grad schools in States. Got into some, got rejected by toughest ones. U of T is pretty decent overall, and I don't have to live in the States.

Oh, I'm sure it's great and I'm sure you will do well.

Pretty surprised that you didn't get in anywhere you wanted. You seem pretty shmarty. Even for a physics geek.

No, it's 135 years since you were born, but you are still dependent on your mummikins. That is what I am saying

I need a lot more beers for that. Shoot...I've been completely incapacitated and haven't swung that way. Must be too much of a tight ass...need Guynemer to fix that.

I wanted U of Chicago and Stanford, though...

I like to consider myself pretty shmarty too

but my first 3 semesters were a "little" rocky (laziness overcomes even the best of intentions)...

400 years since birth, 135 years since we cut the umbilical.

Mind telling me how we've depended on Britain since 1867 (and not the other way 'round, which is how it seems to me from here)?

I'm checking out then UT physics website now. They seem pretty strong in solid state stuff.... Even have a picture of crystal structure as the icon for research groups...maybe we can pull you into the caveman's* field anyway.

*Remark by our NU Nobel hopeful, Brian Hoffman, regarding solid state: "That's just a bunch of caveman pounding on rocks..."

You can just respond "Don't ask, dont tell", you know...

err...suspect? "Know" is so awfully damning.

No KH, that was 400 years since conception. You were still firmly on the umbilical cord until 135 years ago

Hey stop squabbling. We can all be in the club together. Elect me president and I will remove all lumber and steel tarrifs.

Provost, we came to help you in 1901, 1914 and 1939. What have you done for us since 1867?
